Grand Exhibition of Carriages

At the the State Fair. The largest ex-
hibitOn ever made in this part of the
country. We invite inspection and
comparison regarding quality and
price. We have the largest exhibit and
it is composed of work superior in quail
ity to any other work shown. We have
long had the reputation of selling work
of the finest quality, but it has been the
general impression that our prices were
high.
A comparison of prices with other
work shown in competition will show
that such is not the case, and that in
reality we sell goods at much closer
profit than any other concern in the
Northwest dealing in work of similar
quality. Our exhibit will be found ex-
tending through the entire center space
in Carriage hall. Come and see us
there. E. NJ. Hallowell q Co., 3O5 to 81

Land in London.


The growing value of property in Lon
don is strikingly illustrated in the nego-
tiations now going on in Lambeth Oh the
subject of park for Vauxhall. The
promoters of this project speak cheer
fully of SAT 800 as the ''reduced price,
for property of between eight and nine
acres. 1t is not surprising that some of
the inhabitants of the district. not un-
favorable to the preservation of open
spaces, should pause before this project,
and should be asking, as some of them
have done, whether the ratepayers are
not being invited to pay too dear for
their whistle. Nearly $4,000 an acre is
a very large price, and if it be the case
that one or more of the vestrymen who
are to decide the question of purchase
are interested in the sale, the. question
of value ought, as matter Of principle,
to be decided with special care by i'm
partial inquiry. The matter is for local
decision, but under our present system
of metropolitan government the rate
payers must see for themselves that
their interests are properly secured.

Mr.. Skinner, attorney for the company

any more than the taxes amount to.
Surprising it did amount to cOnfsca

To the Editor of the Gazette.
CROCKETT, TEX, May 31.-One OF the
great moguls of the True Blues, DR.. Arch
Cochran, spoke here last night on the
prohibition amendment, being introduced
by Hon. w. 2. Page as distinguished Re-
publican. He launched out by announc-
ing that this was not political question,
and that Page, Mills, Gibbs and others
agreed with him that it was not. He de-
MED receiving pay for his services except
having his expenses refunded to him and
freely gave mis- time in the interest OF
free government as promulgated by Mr..
Jefferson. He gave al account of how
the Democrats were forced toput the pro-
hibition plank in their platform at Calves
ton last year and how ne had prevented
the Republicans from making the same
mistake. He complimeuted the preach
ers and thought some of the speakers on
his side had made mistake in attacking
them. He addressed q considerable part
of his speech TO the colored voters, told
them never to surrender any Of the rights
of freedom which they had enjoyed for
such short time, and if they voted for
the amendment they would be doing SO;
that they would have to get g permit TO
get drink, and it would remind the
older ones of how they used to carry
passes when they we're slaves, and the
adoption OF this amendment would be
step back 10 the days of passes, and no
man could tell what would follow it.
His argument, and no doubt his mission,
is to capture the colored voters, and be
made some believe the government would
be endangered il prohibition carried.
He called their attention to the fact that
the states that had tried prohibition had
been entirely lost to the Republican party,
or had their Republican maiorities very
largely reduced, and tried to make the

Marlin as a Center

! Special to the Gazette.
! MARLIN, TEX. June 3.-There is z quiet
movement on foot here which, if success
full, will result in giving Marlin railroad
facilities and connections OF valuable
nature. Marlin is as likely as Waco to
secure the Arkansas Pass and San Antonio
Railroad. The project is to have it come
| from Cameron 70 Marlin and hence to
Corsicana. 1t is mistake that 1t will
cost the road 81 ,000, 900 more to come 20
Marlin than to go to Waco. This
is one project, but our people
have another on hand, which
| is to secure the main line of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe road. The
officials of this line have given assurance
that if right of wsy aud depot grounds
are guaranteed all along the route they
will give earnest and perhaps favorable
consideration to the plan of starting q
branch at Cameron, thence to Marlin,
thence by way of Mount Calm Con the
Cotton Belt) by way of WaXahachie TO
Midlothian or some convenient point
south of Dallas. Such line will be fifty
miles shorter from Cameron to Dallas
than around by Temple, Meridian and
Cleburne. 1t will traverse the cotton
region of the Brszos bottom and
pass through a fine agricultural re-
gion all the way. At Dallas it
will connect with the Santa Fe main line
to Paris, and at the latter place with the
Frisco road, now completed, and which
is controlled by Mr.. Strong and the
AtChison-Santa Fe syndicate. Thus
there will be g trunk line outlet to St.
Louis fully fifty miles shorter than
the present route. The leading business
men of Marlin are at work andfeel con-
tident they can comply with sill demands.
Much correspondence has already taken
place and our people anticipate the time,
not far distant, when Marlin will be a
railroad center. We already have the
Central, and with the Arkansas Pass and

TEMPLE, TEX, j une 8 About O'Clock
this morning st the crossing of Twelfth
street over the Santa Fe Road, Dec Lacy,
colored man of sixty years was shot and
killed by X. NJ. Chinn, white man. The
weapon used was g repeating pistol. The
cause of the difficulty, which was wit
messed by a number CT persons, is IN
known, as previous to the shooting little
| or nothing was said by either party. An
inquest was held by Justice j. j. Lowry
who summoned jury, snd the evidence
of the witnesses was TO the effect that
both parties to the affair were going in
one direction and when about from four
| to eight steps from Lacy Chinn
drew his pistol and shot Lacy twice
| through the body and once through the
shoulder, killing him instantly, and the
verdict was rendered accordingly. About
II O'Clock Chinn, who was in the custody
of Officer Joe GOsd, made his escape, and

not be surprising, though he may survive
for several days"

disease became more rapid, and his
physician and friends began to fear the
approach of the end On the night of
